Abstract
Most finite-element models of reinforced-concrete structures attribute to concrete material characteristics which are in conflict with true behaviour established from valid experimental information. As a result the constitutive models adopted are case-study dependent. The present work summarizes already published work which shows that the use of realistic concrete properties coupled with well-tried numerical techniques can yield a finite-element model characterised by both generality and objectivity.
